General Information

The UC Regents approved the creation of the College of Biological Sciences on July 21, 2005. While most of the structure of the division stayed the same, there were some changes and updates given their new status.

The Dean's Office for the College of Biological Sciences is located in 202 Life Sciences Building, on the corner of Hutchison Drive and Kleiber Hall Drive.

The Dean's Office has advising for all BIS, and Undeclared Life Sciences students, and functions as a Dean's Office for all biological sciences majors regardless of their college affiliation.

Appointments can be scheduled up to a week in advance by calling 530-752-0410. However, for most issues, it is best to come into drop-in advising.

There are also Peer Advisors available at these times.
